DADS CAR STOLEN - His pride and joy - Mercedes E320 sky blue

Dads_Car_Stolen

Hello All,

See attachment..

Thank you for taking the time to read, its my first post, unfortunately the title is not a good one as my fathers pride and joy was stolen early this morning.


THE CAR: E320 CDI Mercedes Benz Komp, Sky Blue Met Reg XXX

IDENTITY (Other means): Auto box, cream leather interior, small dent in chrome doorstrip on drivers side. 'Gilmores' sticker in rear window.

THEFT LOCATION: Dundalk, Armagh Road, Countryside location.

TIME: 5am

BACKGROUND: The thieves had broken a rear window for entry to the house and had taken the keys from the kitchen table and driven off.

This is the best photo i have for now but will upload more soon, if anyone can help, i would greatly appreciate.

The Garda have been notified and the place been print dusted but at present that seems where it stops so i would like to do my bit.

Two possibilities from talking around to friends/people etc, either shipped to England for dismantling, or to be used in an upcoming raid/burglary/bank job etc.

The car is in mint condition and had very low mileage.

If you have ANY REAL information on this cars whereabouts, whether you have seen it in your area only since today or over the next few days, whether you have spotted it parked up, or been offered for sale please contact me on XXX (text and i will call you back).

I do realise that there may be a lot of similiar cars like this in the country, and there is a real possibilty that the plates may have been swiftly changed.

Any help greatly appreciated.

scum allright, to be honest, i think the mercs are near impossible to hotwire. ya pretty much have to have the key so that explains why they broke in, from what i hear,nowadays people steal the likes of mercs for illegal export for parts and such

I reckon those ****ers were straight over the border with it, given your location.

Reg is from a S320 on cartell. Where do cartell get the info from?

edit: My Uncle's S320 was robbed a few years ago, keys taken from the kitchen table too. Was missing a few weeks and then another car was stolen from the same road but that one had a tracking system installed in it. The Gardai traced it and came across a whole load of robbed cars parked up. All cars were returned:)

Give the PSNI in Newry a shout as well about the car being stolen. They can't do nothing for you immedeatly but the can keep an eye out for it.

Took the details and as I drive all around the country for a living will keep my eyes open, hope you get a result.

Hello All,

Thanks for your responses, greatly appreciated...


THE GOOD NEWS IS !!!!

The was found in Armagh by the PSNI!!!... one flat tyre, no other damage reported as yet, not burned out thank god, looks like the flat tyre stalled them, thankfully it was found before the rest of the weekend, otherwise it may have been burned.

Stephen was right with it going straight over the border...thanks..

And on speaking too the Garda here it goes straight onto the 'pulse' system, and the alert the PSNI straight away also.

On speaking to a few other and reading some previous posts, it seems like the car was to be prepared for a robbery of some sort, seemingly inconspicuous power is what they look for...


Thanks again all.

Thats a bit of good news! Hope your Dad can get a "Kill switch" fitted

so if it ever happens again(fingers crossed it won't). Little toerags

won't be able to start it even with the keys. Happened to me last

year, they gave up on trying to start the car.

Good news. Also it proves that he Internet forums are a good source of info, and I'm sure it did no harm to let everyone know just what happened. Communication cross border is key also.

I hope they fingerprint the car and catch the scum that did it, I think necklacing would be the appropriate punishment in this case.

Good stuff, great to hear.

Great to hear, it's not very often they come back in one piece. Another reason not to use run-flats:pac:

Fair play to the PSNI. Hopefully the prints pull someone up.
